Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
> 500 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)

Sexual maturation:
not examined
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
no effects observed
Gross pathological findings:

Effect levels (F1)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Generation:
F1
Effect level:
> 500 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
Sex:
male/female
Basis for effect level:
other: No adverse effects occurred in animals in the top dose group, therefore a NOAEL cannot be identified from this study.
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
no NOAEL identified

Overall reproductive toxicity

Reproductive effects observed:
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Adverse effects did not occur in parental animals or offspring at doses up to 500 mg/kg bw/day, therefore NOAELs cannot be identified from this study.
Executive summary:

In a 1-generation reproduction study, benzenesulfonic acid, C14-C24 branched and linear alkyl derivatives was administered to 28 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex/via gavage at dose levels of 0, 50, 167 and 500 mg/kg bw/day.

 

No substance related effects occurred in treated animals. As no effects occurred at the highest dose, a NOAEL cannot be identified, and is greater than 500 mg/kg bw/day for reproductive and developmental toxicity.

  

This study is acceptable, and satisfies the guideline requirement for a 1-generation reproductive study; OECD 415 in rats.
